Whitby Town have named David Logan as their new manager after an impressive spell as caretaker.

Ex-Synners man Logan started his career at Whitby before joining Mansfield and embarking on a professional career that saw him play more than 300 games for Northampton, Halifax, Stockport and Scarborough.

After a title-winning spell at Synners, he moved back to Whitby where he lifted the NL championship under first Bobby Scaife and then Harry Dunn.

He also skippered the Seasiders to FA Vase glory at Wembley in 1997.

In all he played 371 games for Whitby in two spells and scored 62 goals including one in the FA Vase victory over Brigg.

Chairman Graham Manser said: "David is Whitby through and through and loves the club. The results since he became caretaker manager have literally played him in to the job and he has the total backing not only of the committee but also the dressing room and the back room staff.

"Hopefully he will bring about the club's ambition to play in Conference North."
